2 weeks out on a clutch. reman pricing. Getting a newer design and they don’t want this back. I’ll just send in photos of cutting the flywheel and be set.

_Awesome_ service especially considering I was up front about it being at least third hand to me. Shame about the backorder.


Hopefully I’ll get out of work before 9 today and have a chance to check out the bearing bosses in the case. Have all the rest of the parts here now.

If the bosses and case are not cracked I’ll be looking to get that bellhousing welded up and be good to go.


I’ve been looking into HD units and there’s an engine adaptor bolt pattern change on the dodge/ram common rail from the standard b and c series since the 80’s. All common rails need an o ring seal at the cam shaft but dodge moved one or two bolts in that vicinity as well. Haven’t gotten good photos or diagrams on this but found two sources saying so. fancy shit there brings that back to even money or worse plus more work to go that route.

Aaron who I was talking to there also strongly suggested to stay dual disk. Stock 6.7s dyno 300-320 to the wheels (truck tune not cab and chassis obviously). With a full delete and a base tow tune they’re usually 450ish.

Insane. And plenty to rip through a single disc when towing heavy.

New clutch will be hybrid, too - not full ceramic, so it should be less grabby. Good with the 3.42s.

Anything with a 5 digit model number is too big.

Rt(o)95xx or rt(o)66xx are smaller.

Finally did a little polishing. No cracks evident past the surface.

Mark Moore welded this up for me last night, it came out really well.
Hopeful for complete assembly Saturday.

second radiator will be here today as well, hopefully I can work on the car and get the big bits of that wrapped up Sunday.

Fangers crossed.

Far too much learning accomplished

Clutch on yesterday. Trans assembled today. Hopefully it goes in as well as it came out instead of as poorly as it went together.

Tell me about it.

Old bearings looked decent, but hundreds of thousands of wear.
